plus it does not have pointers and other stuff c/asm have for low level
power. so java is the worst of both worlds

Then stop using it. Simple as that.

If you don't like it, don't use it. There are plenty of other languages.

You're right, of course, that Java has a number of compromises. Most of
those compromises derive from the fact that Java (Oak) was originally
designed to run on very low powered devices - and, seeing these days we
mostly run Java on high powered machines, some of these compromises look
very silly. However, it remains a good enough language for most purposes,
with a large set of well designed, well tested components freely
available.

If you are not being paid to use it, then just use something you prefer.

If you /are/ being paid to use it, then reflect that if it were easy and
pleasant to use, nobody would pay you to do so.

Java is simple, object-oriented, and easy to use. That's why people
love it.
